This paper is tightly connected with the book [Varieties of Group Representations. General Theory, Connections and Applications (Zinatne, Riga, 1983) (in Russian)]. In the paper we prove new results in the spirit of the above-mentioned book. They are related to dimension subgroups, varieties of representations of groups and varieties of associative algebras. The main emphasis is put on the varieties of representations of groups induced by the varieties of associative algebras. We provide the reader with the list of open problems. For many reasons we consciously included in the text a brief review of the basic definitions and results from the theory of varieties of representations described in the book [Varieties of Group Representations. General Theory, Connections and Applications].
